The Bridge

The Bridge by Charles François Daubigny: Black and white sketch of a man on a horse with a cow walking next to them, on a path. The man rides a horse with a hat on, wearing a topcoat with a tie and cuffs; his body faces right. The horse faces right with its head lowered. A cow walks to the left of the horse. Three trees stand to the right of the horse; one with leaves, in the center. The background shows a bridge in a valley with a hill on the horizon. The sky appears cloudy. The drawing has a highly textured surface. The image has a white border around it with darker edges.
